Klüz shrieks with agony when you land your killing blow. Clutching at its sundered breast plate, it tumbles off the stone pier and plummets head first into the heaving waters of the Tkukoma Estuary. Its fell weapon, Zukgudrak, balances precariously on the edge of the pier. Only the weight of its blade is preventing this polearm from following its owner into the raging waters. You touch the tip of Anseng’s Kirusami to the blade to make it fall and there is sparkling flash of blue light. The blade of the fallen weapon is transmuted into lead and the power it possessed passes instantly into the blade of Anseng’s Kirusami.

This special weapon will now triple all ENDURANCE point damage you inflict upon undead enemies in combat. However, this increased power comes at an increased price. In the first round of combat in which you use this enhanced weapon, you will suffer an automatic loss of 4 ENDURANCE points.
